Chapter 935: Ice and Snow Fight Back

,!

That night, Zhou Sen summoned the high-ranking generals of Zhenshui Pass, including Zhang Laosan and other squires in Bafang City.

Zhou Sen made a startling decision to begin a large-scale military campaign to recover the territory of the Han Empire, with Zhenshui Pass as the core.

Zhou Sen's decision made everyone look sluggish.

Now it is freezing cold, the land is not covered with snow, the blizzard is raging, the climate and environment are harsh, and it is not suitable for military operations at all.

Almost all of them were opposed, but when Zhou Sen gave his reasons, everyone fell into a long silence.

Zhou Sen's reason is simple.

Although the winter of the Han Empire is harsh, for the native Han Emperor, the winter is almost the same every year, and they have adapted to it, but the crusaders are not adapted to the winter of the Han Empire.

After careful consideration, everyone found that Zhou Sen's words were very reasonable, because only after the beginning of winter, the crusaders did not hold large-scale military operations.

There is no doubt that the Crusaders were not good at fighting in snow and ice.

In addition, human beings will not go out in winter, and the resistance forces in some big cities will suspend some operations due to the difficult winter, which will help the Crusaders to consolidate their power, if the Han army does not take action, then it means that the Crusaders have gained a long winter to consolidate their power.

Now, the Han armies in Wuchao City and Zhenshui Pass are all thinking about launching large-scale military operations in the spring of next year, but the problem is that not only the Han soldiers think so, but the Crusaders will also think so, then, this long winter, the Crusaders have plenty of time to prepare.

Historically, the defense of cities has been a weakness of the Crusaders, but after months of preparation, the Crusaders are able to turn any city into a strong fortress.

In addition to the above reasons, there is another reason that is overlooked.

It is winter, both soldiers and peasants are idle at home, once the spring flowers bloom, they will have to sow seeds, which requires a large amount of labor, and at that time, the conscription work will encounter resistance, and the supply of soldiers will also be tight......

……

Zhou Sen did not put forward the concept of faith war, because it was difficult for ordinary people to understand, and they didn't care about these things.

For ordinary people, what they care about is to be fed and clothed.

After a period of deliberation, everyone did not object to Zhou Sen's use of troops, but it was believed that with the power of Zhenshui Pass, on the plain without city walls, it was impossible to confront the Crusader rangers, and they could only be slaughtered.

In addition, if Zhenshui Pass takes action, then Wuchao City must cooperate with military action, otherwise, Zhenshui Pass has no chance of winning.

However, the concerns were quickly persuaded by Zhou Sen.

Now, the main job of the Crusaders is to do a good job of defense, in this extremely cold weather, it is impossible for them to gather a large number of cavalry, so it means that as long as Zhenshui Pass captures the city occupied by the Crusaders, the Crusaders will not take military action in a short time.

In winter, there is one of the biggest advantages, that is, most of the rivers are frozen, soldiers and horses can walk on the river, and the ordinary river is dangerous, and they can also walk on the ground.

What Zhenshuiguan has to do is only need to attack the city all the way and defend the city, you can temporarily form an army in the local area and recruit soldiers, after all, the Han Empire had millions of troops back then, and most of the millions of soldiers were hidden among the people.

As for the source of soldiers, whether it is Zhou Sen or the senior generals of Zhenshui Pass, they are not worried, because the time for the crusaders to occupy the Han Empire is still short, and there is no effective control, as long as the battle is won, the Han people are still more willing to support the Han army.

However, Zhou Sen still couldn't convince everyone about how to defeat the rangers of the crusaders, after all, there were only 1,000 cavalry in Zhenshui Pass, and among the 2,000 cavalry, in addition to a batch of captured war horses, many war horses were retired war horses.

With 2,000 cavalry against the Crusader rangers, it is simply to send to death, you know, there is no Hun cavalry in Zhenshui Pass, and most of the cavalry in Zhenshui Pass are Han cavalry, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

For a long time, cavalry has been the weakness of the Han Dynasty, and the Han cavalry who are good at riding and shooting are pitiful, and the combat effectiveness is even more frustrating.

In the end, Zhou Senqing came up with a killer idea, which persuaded the senior general of Zhenshui Pass-Red Bull.

More than five hundred Red Bulls, enough to destroy any powerful existence.

When he brought out five hundred red bulls from the Dark Forest, Zhou Sen was still restrained and tried not to use demon beasts to participate in the war, but when he saw General Gore unscrupulously summoning gods to fight, destroying lives and killing innocents, he had no psychological barriers.

In the world of cultivating gods, there are still some rules that need to be followed, for example, do not use spells and flying swords to slaughter ordinary soldiers, and do not use divine beasts and demon beasts to deal with ordinary people, but this rule has been broken by the crusaders, who not only use the advantage of the black-winged Kunpeng to attack the Han army first, but even summon the gods to fight at critical times.

Nature has a wonderful balance, and when the balance of one side is broken, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction.

Just as the crusaders have a large number of superpowers to help them fight, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the superpowers of the Han Empire, and it is for this reason that more and more superpowers are involved in this national war.

Convincing everyone, Zhou Sen wrote a letter for Yunhai Jin to send to Wuchao City, and then, immediately took action.

Zhou Sen's decision stunned the generals.

After months of training, the army in Zhenshui Pass has exceeded 200,000, and of course, these 200,000 are mixed.

Two thousand cavalry.

100,000 infantry.

10,000 logistics troops.

After an hour of preparation, the 110,000-strong army drove out of Zhenshui Pass under the cold moonlight.

On the snowfield outside Zhenshui Pass, Zhou Sen rode on a tall and fierce unicorn, and behind him, there were more than 500 powerful red bulls, fiery and red, like a blood-colored ocean, which made people happy.

Seeing Zhou Sen, who was like a god, riding on top of a fierce monster, the soldiers were shocked at first, and then they became enthusiastic one by one, and their eyes were filled with endless fanaticism.

There is no doubt that Zhou Sen is a legend.

In the eyes of the soldiers, Zhou Sen is a legend who creates miracles and an undefeated god of war.

The Heavenly Divine Rat sat on top of the unicorn's head, holding the horns of the unicorn in both hands, and was closing his eyes to recuperate......

……

Because the sea of clouds withered to Wuchao City, Zhou Sen lost his eyes and ears, but Zhou Sen did not hide his eyes and ears at all, his direction was Tongzhou one hundred and fifty miles away.

Tongzhou is known as the sister city of Zhenshuiguan, because, like Zhenshuiguan, Tongzhou also has rivers extending in all directions, and it is located side by side with Zhenshuiguan in the hinterland of the Han Empire.

Zhou Sen took Tongzhou election as his first goal, and he also took a fancy to its special geographical location.

As long as Tongzhou is occupied, it can form a distant echo with Zhenshui Pass, and the most important thing is to cut the Han Empire into two sections, because, from the Russian Empire to Wuchao City, it is necessary to pass through Zhenshui Pass and Tongzhou, once a defense line is established between Zhenshui Pass and Tongzhou, it is equivalent to cutting off the supply of crusaders operating around Wuchao City.

Of course, it was obviously impossible to cut off the logistics of the Crusaders with the two cities of Tongzhou and Zhenshuiguan, but as long as Tongzhou and Zhenshuiguan fell into the hands of the Han Empire, the Crusaders had to take military action.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that as long as Zhenshuiguan and Tongzhou form a distant echo trend, the crusaders will have trouble sleeping......

An army of 110,000 troops, of which 10,000 were mainly pack horses, with tents, food, and some small siege equipment.

Because without the help of Yunhai Jinzhu, Zhou Sen had to ensure the speed of the march, and only by increasing the speed could he be able to catch the crusaders off guard.

It is impossible to conceal the march of the 110,000 army, but the crusaders did not know that Zhenshui Pass would take a large-scale military operation in such bad weather, and most of them would not believe it, at most they thought that a small group of Han soldiers were sneaking attack.

What Zhou Sen had to do now was that when the crusaders confirmed the information, the 110,000 army had already arrived in the city.

A large number of scouts were sent out.

Zhou Sen changed the head cow of the Red Bull as a mount, because, after the Tongtian Divine Rat closed his eyes for a while, he couldn't sit still, and got up, driving the Hideous Qilin to explore the way around, and the Fierce Qilin did not dare to resist, so he could only be at his mercy......

Zhou Sen found that the power of the Tongtian Divine Rat was getting stronger and stronger, not only did Yunhai Jin Wither obey him, but even the fierce unicorn who met for the first time did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and was very tame.

There is no doubt that the power of the Heavenly Divine Rat has become more and more powerful, so strong that an arrogant beast like the Hideous Qilin does not dare to fight against it.

It is not only the Qiong Shu in the Shentai World that makes the Tongtian Divine Rat powerful, but also the superpowers of the Gods and Demons Continent.

Compared with the desolation of the meteorite belt, the Gods and Demons Continent can be described as an outstanding person, and the rapid recovery of the Heavenly Divine Mouse seems to be a reasonable thing.

Of course, no one knows the specific situation of the Tongtian God Rat except himself.

In addition to observing the Tongtian Divine Mouse, Zhou Sen did not forget the White Dragon King who was cultivating in the Shentai World, and of course, the evil spirit of the man in black, the soul of Du Juan's husband.

Only after entering the Shentai world, the White Dragon King found a dragon vein retreat, but he never showed up, and Zhou Sen didn't bother to disturb him.

As for the evil spirit of the man in black, he was injured by the Burning Immortal Net last time, and he has not recovered, and he screams in the fire of purgatory every day, suffering from the terrible reincarnation.

Du Juandemon's husband's soul has been condensed and formed, but he has no consciousness yet, after all, he was just an ordinary person at the beginning, although Zhou Sen spent some effort, but it is impossible to let him have a physical body in a short time.

When it comes to Du Juanyou's husband, I want to explain it here.

Because Du Juan's demon husband is completely superpower condensation, once resurrected, he will directly be a scattered immortal-level existence.

Of course, there are many kinds of scattered immortals, some scattered immortals, when they were still humans, they had the ability to escape from heaven and earth, and became scattered immortals, and naturally they were also powerful, like Du Juan's husband, although he was blessed with the help of Zhou Sen, but even if he became a scattered immortal, his mana was extremely limited, and he still needed a long time to cultivate......

During the rapid march, Zhou Sen also sorted out the cultivation of the "Invincible Cheats".

He was amazed to find that the realm of the royal road of "Invincible Cheats" had a huge impact on him.

If it was before, after learning the news of the disappearance of the Nine Heavens Xuannu in the Honghuang area, he would definitely rush to the Honghuang area to search for it as soon as possible, and he, first stayed in Wuchao City, and then decided to go to the Honghuang area, and then stayed in Zhenshui Pass, after learning about the danger of Zhenshui Pass, he actually decided to send troops......

……

Do you love the country and don't you love the beauty?!

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Sen's mouth.

After coming into contact with "Invincible Cheats", Zhou Sen found that his style of action was influenced by "Invincible Cheats".

The realm of the royal road, in addition to the domineering spirit cultivated by itself, is actually a kind of perspective to see things, and it is more far-sighted.

Obviously, Zhou Sen's thinking is now broader, more thorough, and more far-reaching than before, but it is precisely because of this change in mood that he ignores a lot of things.

No way!

If you are swayed by a mystical script, what is the difference between it and the walking dead!

Zhou Sen shook his head fiercely, and secretly made up his mind that after capturing Tongzhou, he would immediately rush to the Honghuang area.

I hope the Nine Heavens Xuannu is okay.

Zhou Sen let out a long sigh, he is not an indecisive person, at the beginning of his debut, Zhou Sen was known for his decisiveness, and it was precisely because of Zhou Sen's decisiveness that he became on the list of bandits and became a famous bandit in the world, and now, Zhou Sen found that he had become a little bit of a loser and became timid.

Zhou Sen found that the more he knew about the Divine Cultivation Realm, the more confused he became.

The test of the strength of each sect in the Divine Cultivation Realm is different, although it is roughly divided into the early stage of cultivating the Divine Spirit, the primary superpower, the intermediate superpower, the high-level superpower, and then to the Heavenly Dao, but in fact, some sects have their own categories.

As for the strong, it is also chaotic to the extreme, what junior strong, senior strong and the like, among them, there is a test of combat value and so on.

And Zhou Sen's own cultivation of the "Invincible Cheats" also made Zhou Sen sometimes fall into chaos.

From the realm of majesty to the realm of bright eyes, and then to the realm of wisdom, these realms are completely different from the division of strength in the realm of cultivating gods, as long as the "Invincible Cheats" breaks through the third realm of wisdom, logs in and enters the heavenly realm, and becomes an immortal, and after cultivating the realm of gods, after immortals, there is no level.

According to the description of "Invincible Cheats", after becoming a god, there is also the realm of mountains and rivers, the realm of exploration, the realm of nascent birth, and the realm of Hongmeng.

At present, Zhou Sen has not yet broken through the third realm of wisdom, and he doesn't even dare to think about the realms behind him after becoming immortals......

……

The realm of Hongmeng, what kind of realm is it!

Looking at the vast starry sky from afar, Zhou Sen's tightly knit brows slowly stretched, he believed that one day, he would get a glimpse of the true way of heaven.

Although Zhou Sen claims to be the god of fireworks, he is actually not a real god, as can be seen from the fact that he was killed by that god's clone last time and lost his armor.

The way of heaven is out of reach.

mundane matters, but they need to be solved urgently.

In the vast snowy mountains, the long queue stretches like a streamer formed by a torrent of steel between the frozen heaven and earth.

During the march, the queue was silent, only the military shoes stepped on the frozen snow, making a clear and orderly creaking sound, which sounded neatly on the snow.

It was already dark, and for five hours, except for a break in the middle, the army of 100,000 men had been marching non-stop on the slippery mountain road. It was getting dark, the wind was blowing in the valley, and the wind was whipped at the skin exposed to the cold wind, and the soldiers' footsteps became heavy, and from time to time someone carried their backpacks and weapons.

The speed of human walking is usually maintained at about 20 miles per hour, and if you walk quickly, you can reach 40 miles in an hour.

The weather was so bad that not only was the blizzard raging in the sky, but the snow on the ground was knee-high in some places, and 110,000 people stepped on it all the way, and it became muddy and slippery, although it marched all the way, and the speed was about the same as that of ordinary people.

The most terrifying thing is the frozen ice surface, some ice surfaces can't be knocked open if you want to, and some ice surfaces, because of the complex geographical environment, are as thin as mirrors, and they are torn apart when you step on them......

……

"General, the brothers can't support it." Zhang Laosan rode a horse and chased after Zhou Sen.

"How far is it?" Zhou Sen glanced back, nodded, and asked.

"About fifty miles or so."

"Fifty Miles ......"

Zhou Sen frowned, fifty miles is a distance that is not far or close, if he doesn't stop to rest, when he rushes to the city of Tongzhou, the 110,000 army is exhausted and not suitable for fighting.

If you stop to rest for a while and then hurry, when you arrive in Tongzhou, you will still be exhausted.

According to Zhou Sen's assumption, the best distance is to rest for a while while keeping a distance of about ten miles from Tongzhou, and then take Tongzhou in one go.

The problem now is that the time is not early, and if it is delayed any longer, it will be night when we arrive in Tongzhou.

In the winter night of the Han Empire, the dripping water turned into ice, which was not suitable for siege.

"Hold on!" Zhou Sen's face was grim.

"General......

"Fifty miles, don't want two hours, today, we want to have a good meal and drink a bowl of hot soup in Tongzhou City!" Zhou Sen said word by word.

"Ah...... Attack today? Zhang Laosan's face was shocked, he originally thought that after arriving in Tongzhou, he would set up camp and then plan slowly, but he didn't expect that Zhou Sen would take Tongzhou immediately.

"The defenders of Tongzhou originally had 50,000 cavalry, and some people have been added recently, the specific number is unknown, but it should also be about 50,000, we are 110,000 people, and it is not an advantage, and the other party has a city to defend, in fact, we are falling behind, however, we have Red Bull, and it is easy for Red Bull to destroy the city wall, that is to say, we and the crusaders in Tongzhou are actually evenly matched in numbers, so we must defeat them in a short time, if the war is in a stalemate, then, even if we have Red Bull to help the war, It is also a sure defeat! ”

"Understood, General!"

Zhang Laosan's heart was shocked, he knew very well that if he lost a battle like this without reinforcements and supplies, it would be the end of the annihilation of the whole army, because it was freezing on this day, and once the army was scattered, even if he did not die in battle, he would freeze to death and starve to death in the wild.

"Boost morale, don't be afraid to alarm the crusaders, they already know we're coming!"

"Yes, General!"

Zhang Laosan knew that the matter was serious, and immediately began to arrange people to boost morale.

The road in the wasteland became steeper and harder, and from time to time someone slipped and fell on the snow, and some comrades stepped forward to pull it up.

The order to rest was not given, and the silent queue continued on. The sweat and snow were blown by the wind, and the cold was attached to the body, and the leather of the shoes was soaked and swollen, and became heavier and heavier, and the feet moved mechanically.

Suddenly, someone in front shouted: "Persistence is victory, the front is Tongzhou, General Zhou said, eat bowls in the city today, and cook mutton soup for everyone!" ”

The hearts of the warriors were lifted at once, and a loud military song sounded in the ranks, "Forward, forward, our long knives look at the heads of the enemy......"

110,000 people sang at the same time, and the atmosphere became warm, and people sang loudly, munching on cold steamed buns in the snowy water, and striding forward.

The originally staggered queue moved forward neatly and calmly, and the snowflakes on their shoulders flashed with a cold light......
